00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 5: the biggest baseball moments.

56
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: He's been doing. He's been great. But I mean, you know,

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 3: at least he was suspended and actually, you know, serve

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 3: the pentance penance.

59
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,560

Speaker 5: rose aside. Yeah, uh yeah. So we got tournament coming up,

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 5: and then the conversation becomes who's gonna win. Everybody's been

62
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 5: out their brackets. Don't forget to check out. We'll tell

63
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: you a little bit more about the Fox Sports Radio

64
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 5: bracket coming up in a little bit. But so you

65
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 5: got to start to looking at rob g looking at

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: the teams who are gonna win it, and some of

67
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: them are favored to have those freshman phenoms.

68
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

69
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 6: You know what's crazy is year in, year out, we

70
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 6: always talk about tournament time, like, hey, who's gonna win it,

71
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 6: Who's gonna cut down the nets? And usually it comes

72
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 6: down to one or two things. Either, because full disclosure,

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 6: most of these people picking brackets are not watching all

74
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 6: these college basketball rights, so they're going right. Either, Hey,

75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 6: Ken Palm or whatever ranks this team as the best

76
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 6: team in the country, I'm just gonna roll with them,

77
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 6: or more than likely, i've heard of this guy before,

78
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 6: I've heard of this coach before. I'm gonna bet on

79
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 6: coach Azo. I'm gonna bet on coach k And in

80
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 6: this case, if you've been living under a rock, the

81
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 6: entire college basketball season has been revolving around the play

82
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 6: of a handful of freshmen. They're calling it the greatest

83
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 6: freshman class that we've ever seen as it relates to

84
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 6: NBA draft prospects. It's headlined by four guys. Number one,

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 6: Cameron Boozer Duke. He's going to be the National Player

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 6: of the year. He's on a quest right now to

87
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 6: become i think just the second player ever to get

88
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 6: National Player of the Year and win a national championship

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: as a freshman. Number two, a guy we've talked about

90
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 6: in this show, Darren Peterson over in Kansas. Now, they're

91
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 6: only a four seed, but by all accounts, Darren Peterson

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 6: was viewed as the number one draft prospect in this class.

93
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 6: Now because of some load management, some injuries, we don't

94
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 6: know what it is, his stocks can't take it a hit.

95
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 6: So now it's like, hey, this is where he's going

96
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 6: to re establish himself as the best player in the country.

97
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 6: Number three AJ Debantsa. He's the guy we've known about

98
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 6: for years, even before these other two, because he was

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 6: viewed as the next Tracy McGrady, the next great lanky

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 6: wing player to come out. And then he goes to

101
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 6: play with BYU and it's like, well, that race of eyebrows.

102
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 6: What's he doing playing at BYU when you're a five

103
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 6: star prospect, leading scorer in the country. All eyes are

104
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 6: on him, but not least the guy who's kind of

105
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 6: taking this basketball world by storm, especially in the last

106
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 6: couple of weeks. A Cuff junior out of Arkansas. He's

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 6: nice nephew, a friend of the show, Rashan Phillips, who

108
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 6: might get on this week to talk about it. He

109
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 6: is being viewed as, Hey, if this was any other year,

110
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 6: this kid is in that John Wall Russell Westbrook, Derreck

111
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 6: Rose class of point guards. If there's anybody who can

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 6: lead their team deep. It's this kid. He's explosive. They

113
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 6: just won the SEC tournament. So, guys, I ask you,

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 6: given how bally who this freshman class is, how much

115
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 6: are you betting on one of these four guys cutting

116
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 6: down the nets at the end of the tournament.

117
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: I'm going with none. I'm going with none. And they

118
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 5: are amazingly talented.

119
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: We get it.

120
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 5: They've been driving the baseball or basketball ratings as far

121
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: as notoriety. You talked about the names you're looking for,

122
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: but historically, Rob g I gotta just say, it doesn't

123
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 5: really work when you have these fabulous freshmen, these freshman phoenims.

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 5: If you and this is coming from somebody born and

125
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 5: raised in and Ovver, Michigan, who saw the Fab five

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 5: and cried tears as a ten or eleven year old

127
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 5: when they lost back to back, you know, in the

128
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: NCAA Championship games, and it was difficult, and there's something

129
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 5: to that. And by the way, these teams were talking

130
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 5: about ain't loaded like that. That team would go on

131
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: to have a Hall of Famer and Chris Webber, a

132
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 5: heck of a player in Jalen Rose and a really

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 5: really good player, and Juwan Howard and so on and

134
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 5: so for Jimmy King and Ray Jackson. But my point

135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 5: is they had some guys. These teams don't even have that.

136
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 5: You're looking at Carmelo Anthony who did it No. Three,

137
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 5: Anthony Davison twenty twelve, and really Jaalil Local four who

138
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 5: led that duke team back in twenty fifteen. That's it

139
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 5: for the most part, when you had these outstanding players

140
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: who were freshmen. I just think it's too difficult for

141
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 5: multiple reasons, Rob G. You're looking at teams that nowadays, Rob,

142
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 5: how many jokes do I make last time last year

143
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 5: around this time, I said, Rob, that guy looks like

144
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: he went to high school with me and you, or

145
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 5: that guy looks like this. These kids are still getting

146
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 5: the COVID years. You're still getting kids who get a

147
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: fifth year, kids who find a way to get these

148
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 5: six years. There's so much experience. Teams are transferring, getting

149
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 5: getting transferred players who have been playing for years and

150
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 5: other schools, so it is more difficult. You're having teams

151
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: with so much experience, so many guys are on these

152
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: teams that have done this before, and then you're playing

153
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 5: teams when you're going to these tournaments that have nothing

154
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 5: to lose, right, You're playing teams we ain't gonna win.

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 3: We ain't gonna win.

156
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 5: So therefore they're playing styles and shooting up threes that

157
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 5: you were ready for. It is too much to ask

158
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: these freshman fetams to carry a team that is so

159
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 5: reliant on them all the way through the tournament. That's

160
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 5: why Rob I think it's just too difficult for them

161
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 5: to do and not to mention. I believe also sometimes

162
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 5: with these players the last you know, seven eight years,

163
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: in the back of their brain, the NBA is the

164
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 5: Constellation Prize, right, so it becomes I'm trying, I want

165
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 5: to win this tournament game, but if we lose, guess

166
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: where I'm going. I'll be a top five, top six,

167
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 5: top seven pick in a matter of a few weeks anyway,

168
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 5: So in the back of your brain you kind of

169
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 5: have that thing you can rely on and say, well,

170
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 5: if we lose, so what I'm going to be a

171
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: top pick, a lottery pick. And you have that They

172
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 5: think that when they're out there playing, really no, I

173
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: think they're competing, but subconsciously, what's the worst that can happen?

174
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: Whereas imagine be thinking about you know, like okay, I'm

175
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: playing in the basketball game. No, I'm sure the same

176
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 5: football where you don't want to play in a meaningless game.

177
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: I get that you're playing in the tournament. I don't

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: know how You're nineteen years old.

179
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: I want to win.

180
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 5: But if in the back of your break, this is

181
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 5: the difference when you know you're want and done. When

182
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: you were Bobby Hurley and Christian Lader and Greyhead all

183
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 5: this you this mattered, This was your WBC. If you

184
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: will that that Duke matter, that Michigan matter, that Kentucky

185
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 5: mattered because you were gonna be there two three, four years.

186
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: And so you're trying to win this championship. These guys

187
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 5: are trying to win, but like that, they're not going

188
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 5: for the long haul to try to win. And what

189
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 5: we talk about the sign what it takes to win

190
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 5: a championship. We might have to go through the bumps

191
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 5: and bruises in the second and competing. You're already out there,

192
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 5: you're playing. You don't want to go go off. You

193
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 5: don't want to like you know what I'm saying. I

194
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 5: don't know if you really I understand your whole premise.

195
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 5: I just wanted as a competitor and so then if

196
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 5: you're if you're a devance, you go to BYU to

197
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: win a championship like that.

198
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, when you're out there, you're trying

199
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: to go.

200
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he's not compete. I think he's a player.

201
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Don't know why you would what if he does take

202
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: b YU. I'm just saying, like, if you're a really

203
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: good player, you're gonna go out there and dog it

204
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: and not play.

205
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 3: Oh rob ain't nobody dogging it.

206
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 5: All I'm saying is when you're going there, when you're

207
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 5: by far the best talent. And Rob g mentioned, we're

208
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 5: all kind of like, oh he went there. He didn't

209
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 5: go to the Duke. They can't we know why.

210
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: Son.

211
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 5: You're not necessarily saying I'm built to try to win

212
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 5: a championship because you're going there and you're the guy,

213
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 5: and the team's pretty good because you're there in another player,

214
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: but not championship level good. And especially because how young

215
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 5: you are, you don't have that experience, and everything becomes

216
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 5: solely relying on you. As a freshman photom, you're like

217
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 5: everything's on it. And again you're not where Michigan was,

218
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 5: where they had a bunch of really really really good freshmen.

219
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 5: And we've seen some Calipari teams at times where well,

220
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 5: that's why they were able to get there. They got

221
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 5: a bunch of guys. Some of these teams, it's him,

222
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: another solid player, and then there's a bunch of role

223
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 5: players at that can't get it done. That's not gonna

224
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 5: get you the championship. Now, Duke's a little bit different,

225
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: whereas I think if Booza was sitting next to us,

226
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 5: even say, Kelvin, you're wrong.

227
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 3: But I just don't buy it. I don't think they

228
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 3: have enough.

229
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 5: I think there's teams that are two experienced, teams that

230
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 5: have been through it already, teams that are older.

231
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 3: This is the first time where.

232
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: We got guys who ain't going to the NBA rob

233
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 5: they sticking around because the NIL. They're like, well, i'm

234
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 5: gonna be an end of the first round, early second

235
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 5: I'll stick around and make maybe more money, have more

236
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 5: notoriety coming back to college. So I just don't see it.

237
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 5: They're super talented. They can absolutely prove me wrong, but

238
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 5: I just don't see it. I think there's more experience.

239
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 5: I look at a Florida Gator team who's been there,

240
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 5: got experience.

241
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 3: They got a bunch of talented guys as well. I

242
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 3: just think it has to do I.

243
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: Don't think anybody who's really talented and they get into

244
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: the tournament is not trying to win and see what

245
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: they can do. I just think that it's a matter

246
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: of experience, and you know, you can look at the

247
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: only reason to me, Michigan State won that championship with

248
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Tom Mizzel on two thousand is because none of those

249
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: guys wanted to were gonna go high enough in the

250
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: NBA draft. So Matti and Cleves came back, Morris Peterson

251
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: came back, they all came back.

252
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: They all came back for the senior year.

253
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: So they were just bigger, stronger, had played in big

254
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: more games than other people, and they were able to

255
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: win a championship. I'm telling you, if those guys didn't

256
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: come back, Michigan State still wouldn't have a championship.

257
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: And that team was insane because they had played together

258
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 5: for years. Most of them know each other in high

259
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 5: school off from Flint the Flintstones.

260
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that. So that's my point.

261
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 5: The experience of these You're asking these freshman guys to

262
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 5: carry all team, which you know, it's very unlikely in

263
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 5: a tournament where you need that experience.

264
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: This is a one and done, This ain't a best

265
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 3: of seven.

266
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I think it's just it's it's harder.

267
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: And of course the outliers are like, uh, Mello, you

268
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: know Carmelo Anthony and I'm sure Jim Bahein when he's

269
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: not ripping players, is happy that Carmelo got him one

270
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: championship in fifty five years. I'll keep mentioning it because

271
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: it's the most ridiculous thing I ever saw. Is one

272
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: coach fifty five years at one school. Can you imagine

273
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: that and still living off that championship? But Carmelo got you.

274
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: Who's worse him or Izzo? For you? Because I know

275
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: who that's a tough one for you.

276
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Oh now, jim behon fifty five years is o? I

277
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: knows thirty five or whatever. He hadn't won and he

278
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: hasn't won since two thousand. I wish I had to

279
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: record it. The best part is you wake up and

280
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: you flip you what movie was that?

281
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 7: Was?

282
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: That?

283
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 5: A zero dark thirty rove g where every day she

284
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 5: kept coming in on chalkboard right in the days between

285
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 5: they haven't got Asama bin line.

286
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: You wake up every day, you ran out. Oh Jizo

287
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: ain't won another one in forty.

288
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: I got best for reporters in Detroit who all told

289
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: me I was crazy. I said it on the radio

290
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: like a couple of years after they won that championship,

291
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: say he'll never win again.

292
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: I wish I had the tape and they all thought

293
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 3: I was crazy and all this other stuff.

294
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 5: And they got back in what was that like twenty

295
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 5: thirteen ish with Caleb Lucas versus Maybe a little earlier

296
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 5: than that, maybe it was O nine, but they went

297
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 5: against North Carolina.

298
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: No, that's right, that was and that was everybody picked

299
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: up Michigan State because that was at Ford Field. I

300
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: did first take that morning and then flew for the game.

301
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: That game was over five minutes. North Carolina had three

302
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: or four players at Michigan State High law what not

303
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: Ty long What was his name was Ty Lawson?

304
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Ty Lawson was there. He just Caleb Lucas was

305
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: that guy. The other one that was Eric Montrosse on

306
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: that team. No, that was way back, way back. That

307
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: was was that.

308
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 5: But there was another gun was that May McCants Sean

309
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 5: McCants was on that team. It was just Sean May. Yeah,

310
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 5: they had it. Marvin Williams the league, Yeah they had

311
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: that was that was too much for MiG State to handle. Yeah,

00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Jordan?

378
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 3: How are you?

379
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 9: Oh?

380
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 10: Hey, Rob Kelvin, how you guys doing doing great?

381
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 11: Jay?

382
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: What's up buddy?

383
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 11: Oh?

384
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 10: Nothing much, That's what's up. Before I go, Rob, I

385
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 10: agree with you about like how crazy it is the

386
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 10: Izzo still and he has one. I remember in twenty

387
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 10: nineteen when his team finally beat like Diane and RJ Barrett,

388
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 10: that Duke team. I thought they were found to get

389
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 10: the second one, and then like he lost to the

390
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 10: final four Detexas Tech. I'm like, when is he gonna

391
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 10: get another one? Just retire one like thirty years ago.

392
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: At this point, it's unbelievable to be honest, that it's

393
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: been this one. He knows it, though, he knows that

394
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: if you ask him, I'll give him that. He says

395
00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: that he needs to win another championship. Even he knows

396
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: that because a lot of people, a lot of people

397
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: of a lot of people have won one.

398
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: You know, a lot that's separated.

399
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 5: I agree that is a separate if he if he

400
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 5: were to get to because then you can start trying

401
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 5: all the other Final four appearances. Now it sounds really good.

402
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 5: Two time champ, I don't know, five time Final four,

403
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 5: whatever it is. That's that sounds a little different. All right,

404
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 5: go ahead, Jake, we lost, all right, I we had

405
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 5: a little bit more. He's all right, he's want to

406
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 5: get in on the Larry and Nevada.

407
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 3: We're on the odd couple. Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Larry?

Speaker 7: And today is my first time watching on YouTube.

415
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 3: Oh really, there we are reporting that you gave you

416
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: the peace on. I'm giving you the peace on. There

417
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 3: you go.

418
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with the Boozer brothers. Uh, the other

419
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 7: brothers gonna take over at point guard. So I'm saying

420
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 7: that brothers to wait a minute.

421
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 3: Didn't they make a movie in the eighties that was

422
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 3: The Blues Blues brothers, Ron brothers. I'm sorry.

423
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 5: By the way, they got a great story, the whole family,

424
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 5: the trio brother the twins saved the younger of the

425
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 5: older brother's life. Yes, sickle cell anemia and they needed

426
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: to find a bloatbone trans blood transfer and so they

427
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 5: had another kids. They say it was a great story

428
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 5: of the Boozer family. But uh, a lot of people

429
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 5: picked them. They're picking Duke. That would be the team.

430
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 5: Thanks for the call. That would be the team. If

431
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 5: if a freshman squad kind of would have led by

432
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 5: a freshman picked.

433
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 3: Duke a lot. You know what I mean.

434
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: You figure if you put them down even here, you

435
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: get a few. That's what I'm saying. Even coach k

436
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: all those disappointments along the way. How about Drew in

437
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey. We haven't heard from in a while. Drew.

438
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, I'm like an hour behind, so it throws

439
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 9: me off. It'll it'll be seven o'clock, but it's six

440
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 9: o'clock here and just clearly throws me off. Home.

441
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: Okay, so where are you? Where are you now?

442
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 9: Panama City Beach.

443
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, yeah, you can't be in Jersey.

444
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 11: It's weird.

445
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 9: It's Central time. But it's like it's literally just East Coast.

446
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 9: It's doesn't make any.

447
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: Sense, right, that's kind of weird out. Figure it out.

448
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 9: So I think I could definitely see a senior laden

449
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 9: team that has like a freshman as a top ten

450
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 9: pick or top five pick make it so. I can

451
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 9: definitely see Houston only because they have the experience of

452
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 9: I get that, yeah, definitely, because I know they're they're

453
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 9: I think they're point guards.

454
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 3: Are you on that or no?

455
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 9: I I am. I just think it's hard for a freshman.

456
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 9: If a freshman is gonna do it. I like, they

457
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 9: do have a lot of senior seniority over there too,

458
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 9: not seniority, but they have guys that have experienced two

459
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 9: plus three years. It's not gonna be primarily them, but

460
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 9: that kind of balances out. I was gonna lean on

461
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 9: on Kansas because they do have a lot of experience too.

462
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 9: But if you look at all these teams, like the

463
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 9: top five teams, they have freshmen all over. So if

464
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 9: it's going to be this year, I mean the you're

465
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 9: you're pretty much the it's it's in favor of happening.

466
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 9: It might not be a freshman leading it not, but

467
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 9: you know, but I know you were talking about I

468

525
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean that that was a moment.

526
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:09,920

Speaker 6: Was it was.

530
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: It was nineteen ninety six, and I still remember that

531
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: place went silent. They couldn't believe it because the Yankees

532
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: trail six nothing in that game, right, you had no

533
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: business winning that game.

534
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 3: But anyway, Jim, I reminist sorry about that. Let's talk

535
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: about the world go ahead.

536
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 11: I'm sorry you always good memories, always good memories.

537
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: Sure, let's talk about the It's hard.

538
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 11: It's hard to believe, by the way, that's been thirty

539
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 11: years this year crazy thirty years, eight years.

540
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: I refuse to believe the nineties were that one. And Jim,

541
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy this is?

542
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: I told you my fortieth year, my first year I

543
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: covered the nineteen eighty six World Series when the ball

544
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: went through Bill Buckner's legs.

545
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: That's how long I've been coming baseball.

546
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 11: There you go.

547
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Those are some pretty good games, right, some good games

548
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: the WBC. I know people are loving it, you know

549
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: what I mean. The country's going at it. The Dominican Republic.

550
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: I didn't like the way they lost. The pitch was

551
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: obviously low, but you know, they said they proved something.

552
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: They their best teams and kind of went off as

553
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: losers despite our you know, like at the end, what

554
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: do you make of them? And they're powerful lineup that

555
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 1: was averaging over ten runs a game, only getting one

556
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: against the United States.

557
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, well, I think anytime you you got Paul Skians going,

558
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 11: no matter if you're the Pittsburgh Pirates or if you're

559
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 11: the USA team or whoever it might be, that you're

560
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 11: gonna be in pretty good shape no matter who you face.

561
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 11: And you know, but I'm tying you look at that

562
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 11: lineup that the Dominican team put out there, and you know,

563
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 11: those eighteen guys that are on that field, that is

564
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 11: a scary, scary bunch of line up on both sides.

565
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 11: And for Paul Skiings to do what he did, but

566
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 11: also Louisa.

567
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: Marino doing what he did, Yeah, good point was only

568
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 3: two runs? Did you give up two ones to the

569
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: United States? You should win that game exactly.

570
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 11: And so I mean, you know, I look at you know,

571
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 11: at both of the teams. We also have to remember

572
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 11: too that this is the beginning of the season and

573
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 11: it should not be played while these guys are still

574
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 11: not even really in shape yet. And you know, to me,

575
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 11: I'm like, it's a little different now than it was

576
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 11: for us, and we played because we came into spring

577
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 11: training and knowing we had thirty to forty days to

578
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 11: get back into shape. Uh, these guys don't have that

579
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 11: luxury now with the amount of money they make, but

580
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 11: they still come in, you know, not ready for the

581
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 11: season to go full force. And you know, I think

582
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 11: Scoopa was the one that said it, like he Okay,

583
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 11: I pitched that first game, but I got amped up

584
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 11: way too much and I'm not going to pitch again

585
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 11: because I'm afraid I might hurt myself.

586
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 3: This is about when to play this. Folks are saying

587
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 3: you have it, you played later, go ahead, right? Yeah.

588
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: I want to follow up though, on that call against

589
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: the Dominican Republic that they lost the game on. Now

590
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,439
Speaker 1: you've seen the automated ball and strike, the ABS challenge system.

591
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: Where are you on that?

592
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Because the problem I have, Jim is I get it,

593
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: like that box that square, but does that It scares

594
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: me that you could throw the ball not in the

595
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: strike zone. I mean, you know, not over the plate,

596
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: but it hit one of those corners and get a strike.

597
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: Where are you on this ABS system?

598
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 11: Yeah? Listen. Anything that they're bringing in new to the game,

599
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 11: I questioned, because it's just like, okay, there's going to

600
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 11: be something that's gonna malfunction. There has to be a

601
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 11: human touch to the game. And I liked it when

602
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 11: they brought in replay, you know, because any because you

603
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 11: watch some series in playoffs and World Series determined because

604
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 11: of a bad call. Well, I you know, I think

605
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 11: I think it's absolutely necessary for us to be able

606
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 11: to in those kind of games have the technology that

607
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 11: we have. But I do think that during the season,

608
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 11: I mean, guys, we play one hundred and sixty two games.

609
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 11: You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna do this through the

610
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 11: course of the season. I just can't imagine. We've we've

611
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 11: fought for they fought for the last four years to

612
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 11: get a clock in the game to speed it up.

613
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 11: Now you're doing everything you can now to slow it

614
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 11: back down.

615
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 5: Well, I's gonna say, I think that's what's one of

616
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: the time technology work.

617
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: Clock worked.

618
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 6: Jim.

619
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I gotta admit that, you know that you played in

620
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: those Yankees Red Sox games for four and a half hours.

621
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: That thing.

622
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think the clock is, you know,

623
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 11: it's overall, it's it's a good idea. I think it

624
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 11: should be thirty seconds for both the hitter and the pitcher.

625
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 11: I think thirty seconds gives a picture enough time to

626
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 11: step off the back of the mound and gather himself,

627
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 11: especially in the hot summer, you know, whereas a hitter

628
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 11: you got kind of more of an advantage because you

629
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 11: could step out after fifteen seconds and get another fifteen

630
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 11: seconds and kind of compose yourself. A picture really has

631
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 11: nowhere to go if he just steps off the mind

632
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 11: and gets right back on formerly. I think, yeah, so

633
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 11: I think if you did a thirty second clock, it

634
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 11: would speed up the game. Still it it would keep

635
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 11: people from doing what they do, but it would also

636
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 11: be fair to both sides.

637
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 1: I think former Major league catcher Jim Lawitz joining us

638
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: here on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

639
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 3: Jim, I want to ask you about this.

640
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 5: You played and we were just talking about winning a

641
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: World Series at ninety six. Then you got a couple

642
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 5: of years later the home run chase and baseball's at

643
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 5: a high, and then things start to have it slows down.

644
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 5: We talk about the analytics skin the game. Now, it's

645
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 5: been thriving. Robin and I have been enjoying it the

646
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 5: last few years. It's been amazing. Why have a lockout now, Jim?

647
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 5: It could potentially happen at the end of the season.

648
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's the scary part, you know, with the amount

649
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 11: of money that's in the game, these televasion contracts with

650
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 11: the international you know audience that we have now with

651
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 11: baseball growing in Dubai, in India and all these different

652
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 11: places that they're just starting, it's you shake your head, like,

653
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 11: how can you not come to an agreement? You know,

654
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 11: it's it's like you're you're at an all time high,

655
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 11: and it's it's how much control do you really have

656
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 11: to have? It's I think it's it's I think if

657
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 11: it does happen, it's a very unfortunate thing for both

658
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 11: the boats, both sides, and I do think that I hope,

659
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 11: I hope they come to an agreement and and just

660
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 11: continue to maybe just a ticker with it every year

661
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 11: and say, Okay, you know what, we're just going to

662
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 11: make adjustments, because I think a lockout would just really

663
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 11: really kill the momentum it's got going right now.

664
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: I agree, Jim, the game is at a good place.

665
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: Look at the ticket sales.

666
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: The TV where you saw the World Series TV ratings

667
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: without Canada and they were great, you know, I mean,

668
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: like it's incredible where they are. How out The last

669
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: thing about the Dodgers, and a lot of people, you know,

670
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: belly ache about the Dodgers all the money they spend.

671
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: And the only issue I have is teams that spent

672
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: a lot of money don't always win. Okay, the Mets

673
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs last year. They had the second

674
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: highest payroll. The Yankees haven't won a World Series since

675
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: two thousand and nine. They're one of the rich teams.

676
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: The Cubs have won one World Series in the last

677
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. Just one in one hundred

678
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: and fifty years. I could go on and on and on,

679
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: and then I could show you Kansas City's won a

680
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: World Series. Marlins, Yeah, the Marlins have won a couple.

681
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: We could go on some of the teams that have gone.

682
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 1: The Angels, I Justiggers have gone.

683
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 3: I just don't. I don't get it. I don't. I

684
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 3: don't get it. Like like the Dodgers can spend money.

685
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: They almost lost to Toronto last year.

686
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 11: They were they were away from losing time, am I right? Yes, yeah,

687
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 11: Now listen, I think what they're doing is genius. The

688
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 11: bottom line is you you got some multi billionaire owners

689
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 11: in the business and they have figured out a way

690
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 11: that they could you take money, make it and defer it.

691
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 11: And I mean it's genius what they're doing.

692
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 3: At some point, you got to pay up, you know,

693
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: like the bill does come do at some point. But

694
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: I think they got to look at it.

695
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 9: You know.

696
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Anything I would say is they probably have to put

697
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: a cap on how much you can put away.

698
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, like that would be my

699
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: only issue.

700
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 11: So my my take on this whole thing from the

701
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 11: very beginning has been this. I don't think you're ever

702
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 11: going to get a salary cap in baseball. But here's

703
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 11: what you can do to number one, create loyalty and

704
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 11: create players and owners working together. Is you say, Okay,

705
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 11: the New York Yankees want Aaron Judge, who's they considered

706
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 11: the best player in baseball. They want to pay him

707
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 11: thirty million dollars a year. Okay, let's max the salary.

708
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 11: The most you can pay your best player is thirty million.

709
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 11: Now you can pay seven guys thirty million, but you

710
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 11: can't pay them over thirty million. And now you're going

711
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 11: to create a loyalty to where guys aren't chasing the dollar.

712
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 11: They're chasing where do they want to play?

713
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 3: Oh, just saying yeah, yeah, that's interesting, right, just yeah,

714
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: you're locked in who do I want? Who do I

715
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: fit in?

716
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 5: Where do I am my best position? Then all right,

717
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 5: well that's an interesting point there, Jim, Yeah.

718
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, because I think that's a situation where to me,

719
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 11: one of the things that's been lost with the money

720
00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 11: and the amount of money that's going in now is

721
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 11: the loyalty.

722
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 3: You know.

723
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 11: Now you're getting contracts that are ten years with two

724
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 11: year opt outs and four year opt outs and seven

725
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 11: year there's no there's no loyalty as far as the

726
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 11: player goes to the organization saying I'll opt out after

727
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 11: three years.

728
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what. That's what. Kyle Tucker has a crazy

729
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: contract with the Dodgers. Dodge that'd be like, fine, go bye,

730
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: we'll buy somebody else exactly. Jeh. We appreciate it, man,

731
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.

732
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,440

763
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: what it means, and we had a big star MLB

764
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 5: bros own Aaron Judge talk about a little bit too.

765
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 3: That's right.

766
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 6: On Friday, we had a big debate on the show

767
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,879
Speaker 6: about you know, Julio Rodriguez saying that he'd rather win

768
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 6: the WBC.

769
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: Than win a World Series.

770
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 6: I'm glad that somebody on this show got their panties

771
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 6: all up in the bunch. You can you can guess

772
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 6: how excited I was when three time MLB Bro the

773
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 6: Year Aaron Judge didn't quite say no, same thing, MVP.

774
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 6: He said something very similar, taking.

775
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 4: I was just the crowd here that probably had playing

776
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 4: at bigger and better than this series. It's just like

777
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 4: I said, the passions these fans have, representing their country,

778
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 4: representing some of their favorite players, there's nothing like it.

779
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 10: That's what you dream of as a kid.

780
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 4: Man.

781
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: I've told you it's because it's life or deaths over there.

782
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 5: Rod Like, we love baseball, you and I we cover it,

783
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 5: you know, I do pre and post with the Dodgers,

784
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 5: and but it's life or death in these other countries.

785
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 3: Man.

786
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 5: It is right when their country is across the Jersey time,

787
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 5: whether it be WBC or what do you mean, stop,

788
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 5: it's factual.

789
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 3: They played at WBC every three or four years.

790
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Of course, of course you're gonna be Jack Ford American

791
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 1: Americans weren't Jack. Come on, many watched it were cool

792
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: with it, like we weren't Jack, like they were. My

793
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: point is you should be specials like the Olympics. It's

794
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 1: not every year, it's every four years you pulled up something.

795
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: No you WBC. Dare Aaron Judges saying he'd rather win

796
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: a WBC in the World Series for the He won't.

797
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 3: Say it, I know because he's American. Rig has said

798
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 3: it because.

799
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: Agains why Seattle didn't make it to the World Series

800
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: last year?

801
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 3: What of Dominican Republic laws? And now I hope the

802
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 3: Mariators don't American. You got your WBC. If they lose

803
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: to Italy the five, I'm fine with that. Man.

804
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 5: So that all I have been simply saying, it's winning

805
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 5: to Italy halievable.

806
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: Is it the joge Pisada magic. I don't even know.

807
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 5: For Italy, it's something going on right now. I don't

808
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 5: know that they're not playing around. But that's my point though.

809
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 5: It's again, man, with these whether it be WBC, whether

810
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 5: it be World Cup, whether it be whatever, whether it

811
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 5: be their annual tournaments, they just take in. If you

812
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 5: look at if you look at soccer, many every year

813
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 5: like the matches they play. I'm not even talking about

814
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 5: every three or four year thing. It's just a little

815
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 5: more serious little or life or death for them. I mean,

816
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 5: like I told you, literally death. They're shooting referees, people

817
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 5: with flames and fire and chaos outside the stadiums. I mean,

818
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 5: it's crazy how they feel about their sports, whether be

819
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: basketball in Eastern Europe already mentioned soccer or you already know,

820
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 5: we're talking about baseball now.

821
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 3: It's just a hair different.

822
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 5: And again, I think it's because we love our sports here,

823
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:21,359
Speaker 5: but we kind of like, Okay, I'm a football guy.

824
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 5: I just think they're being politically correct and I can't

825
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 5: feel that way, No, I really do.

826
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 3: I'm just the moment that situation. So they keep asking, hey,

827
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: what is it? What is the crowd? This is this

828
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: better than a World Series crowd?

829
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: Like like, dude, yeah, well it would be because if

830
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: you're in if you're in a different like if you're

831
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles and you're the Yankees, yes, the World

832
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: Series crowd is gonna be great for the Dodgers, not

833
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:46,560
Speaker 1: for you.

834
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: This is different.

835
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: I get them, the the the country and all that stuff,

836
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: But to sit there and say you'd rather win a

837
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: WBC a exhibition every three or four years over winning

838
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: a World Series.

839
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 3: If you honest, he say that as you know baseball player.

840
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 5: What about somebody who is on you, who may look

841
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 5: if you wouldn't whatever look America means but who's been here?

842
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is somebody who's that you say, like

843
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,240
Speaker 3: the vice Poho is you speak speaks America.

844
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 5: What I'm trying to say, speak on. What I'm saying

845
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 5: is a guy to do hear that I speak to

846
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 5: speak America. That was mindy, like second third grade when

847
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 5: people used to say that speak a guy who's been

848
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 5: in a million World Series titles, A guy who loves

849
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 5: his country but loves his team, is what I'm trying

850
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 5: to say.

851
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,359
Speaker 3: He's a He is a Dodger. Keith Hernandez has said

852
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 3: the same things. He never let anybody to anything get

853
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: out of here. He was on the team, He was best,

854
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 3: one of the better players on the team. Julio, you

855
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 3: got Aaron Jones telling you this. He can't telling you

856
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: tell me why you don't want to hear nobody? Rob

858
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 5: You want you want James Earl Jones to give you

859
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 5: the voice of something that rob and they love the

860
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 5: WBC more than the World Series.

861
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: I got a word for you. It's called propaganda, that's

862
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 3: what it is. That's I'm not even a profect again.
